Procreate 6b Pencil Download [NEW]

With this one I wanted to create a pencil that was easier to draw quick and bold strokes without the need of layering. Is designed to respond smoothly to pressure, increasing in width and fuzziness for a more natural look.

For the realistic implementation of the pencil brush, we recommend that you set the pressure setting to a slightly high sensitivity and then use it. If used as a general sensitivity, the line may be faint. Please refer to the image below.

GrutBrushes are the brushes that I personally use in Photoshop (my main tool, you can see an example of my sketches above). But they are also available for Procreate!

These brushes are a part of a bigger pack Procreate Brushes Unlimited. Here I review a separate set, that has only the pencil brushes.

And this is by far the most realistic looking pencil brush set I have seen. The brushes imitate real pencils, literally. Below are the names of brushes, each one refers to the specific pencil (hardness) it imitates:

This set has it all: the best-ever Procreate sketching pencil, brushes for detail, a variety of textures and pencil weights, shaders, multi-functional eraser tools, and more. Brushes have been optimized for use with the Apple Pencil.

I made this custom pencil brush based on my favorite sketching pencil, the BLACKWING NATURAL. Sharp and smooth. Tilt shading, just like the real thing. It doesn't smell like Cedar, but it stays sharp forever.

I tried the 600 Series Pencil for the following drawing. It feels great almost look as natural as using a graphite or oil based pencil. According to Max, this pencil brush is inspired by the Blackwing 602 pencil. According to Wikipedia:

I was looking for a pencil that wrote more like my own natural experience of a pencil. I found the default options non-representative of my writing experience with a tangible pencil. This pack feels so much closer to a real pencil-on-paper drawing experience. Plus, I love the texture of the brushes.

I just needed some base pencils for sketches, and tonal work, having used Retro Supply for some of the more 'intricate' brushes in my kit, I was still very surprised that even a basic pencil set can look this good under a variety of uses. Definitely recommend!

Right off the bat, I want to say that I was the guy talking crap about the iPad Pro. I tried it for a few minutes and flat out declared that no person who actually creates art regularly is going to use this thing. Then I was given the opportunity to actually spend some REAL time with the iPad Pro, Apple pencil and Procreate.

Sketching with Procreate:

Initially I thought sketching was really good and responsive. The more I played with it the less I agree with my original statement. The software feels a bit unnatural and sticky but that is not my biggest gripe. The actual hardware is what frustrates me. The smooth tip of the pen and glass surface of the screen is not my favourite. I have heard you can buy a protective screen cover that gives the pen a bit of resistance. For now I will continue to do my initial sketch on paper, take a photo of it with the iPad and then work from there. I may be the only one in this camp but to me I can move faster and more confidently with a paper and pencil.

These are my customized pencil settings for use in Procreate 5 for iPad and iPad Pro. I use these settings for digital colored pencil sketches on my iPad Pro. This is also the same pencil I use for layouts on my digitally drawn professional comic book pages. There is no artwork included with this download.

If you need a budget option, the Apple pencil 1 works just fine for Procreate and far better than the cheap alternatives. Overall, the Apple Pencil 2 is the most efficient, pressure sensitive stylus for Procreate with extra gesture features that synergize with the apple iPad. See our full post: Apple Pencil 2 vs 1.

It's got everything. Pressure sensitivity, tilt sensitivity, and there's no annoying disconnect between where your pencil tip rests and where the actual line is drawn, like on the cintiqs where the screen is so thick it still doesn't quite feel right.

The Apple Pencil is the size of a regular pencil, slightly heavier but in a good way, it's well balanced and not slippery.

writing in the notes app, which now supports drawing/handwriting with the iPad pro, is a whole new experience. haha

With the "6B Pencil" brush, for example, you can hold it normally and make light, thin lines or dark thick ones depending on the pressure you apply. So far, so normal.

But the kicker is, when you tilt the pencil and hold it the way you would on paper to shade something in with the side of the graphite tip - the brush reacts like a real pencil and creates a flat, roughly textured stroke.

Oh, also, custom canvas sizes of course, and exporting to several different file types including PSD so you can, you know, continue doing what you're doing on photoshop if you happen to stumple upon a feature procreate doesn't have (I believe levels, and saturation adjust might be one of the few missing things) without losing any of your layers.

I haven't tried transfering back and forth yet, so I don't know if that works but honestly. It would hardly matter at this point.

You always have to be careful when you charge the thing to put it somewhere where you're not in danger of bumping into it and breaking the ting off. But that's seriously minor, especially since the pencil charges so fricking fast it virtually doesn't matter.

If you're a digital artist, hell even if you're not a digital artist, and like to be mobile, like I do, and usually always carry a crap ton of stuff with you because you never know what you might be wanting (pencils? fine liners? aquarell? copic markers? 3 types of sketchbooks and a journal?) save up and get yourself one of these beauties. I promise you won't regret it. It's SO worth the exorbitant price. At least for me.

I do recommend you check out some youtube reviews and comparisons, as well as some procreate vids (there's some neat short ones like "the 5 best features in procreate" or something) and also go into an Apple shop/retailer and try the thing first. You'll want to decide which size fits you best and really see if it feels right to you.

There's a cable to charge the pencil??? ... ... checks on the internet

oooh there's an adapter! yah that kinda completely passed me by, and the box is at home in Vienna so I'll have to make due XD.

I think what @geronimo said is sound advice, when this stuff is this expensive you really need to consider whether or not it will be worth it or if it's just gonna lie there, unused..

for me, it's a constant companion now.

hahah "hat den Geist aufgegeben" XD jaja...

hahaha yes it really is how you charge it hahaha but I've learned through the comments that apparently there's a tiny adapter too whith which you can plug in the pencil into a cable.

still I agree, it's a very un-apple like ugly, awkward design.

I doubt Steve would have approved. He'd have pushed them to find a different solution, no matter how hard it was. hahaha

but i mean this makes sense. plug in. done. lol

hahaha sweet. XD

well at least you "only" need to get the Apple pencil since you already have the ipad ;D

if you're one of those people who dislikes the feel of the super smooth screen I recommend getting one of those protective sheet things too, one that has a slightly rougher surface, so it feels more like paper. (you can get those cheaper on the internet too)

I personally haven't tried that yet, but it's something I'm considering after watching a couple a youtube videos of artists, a few of which mentioned that you can make it feel even nicer with that.

let me know what you think once you've had a play around! I'd be super curious! :D

I'm excited to get started. I decided to wait on buying the pencil for it. I think the person that gave me the Ipad is going to mail me the pencil that goes with it so I am holding off for a bit and seeing if I can avoid dropping another hundred bucks. I will definitely watch the video.

As you get familiar with Procreate, you will appreciate the creative freedom and cool features a stylus offers. Besides as times goes on newer versions of Apple pencil come out, as well as new software updates are released, it will get even better and more sophisticated.

In addition, if at some point you will feel like enhancing you drawing experience you can always buy the latest compatible version of Apple pencil. Procreate is a one-time purchase app, so once you get it, it will stay with you. Taking into account all the opportunities Procreate brings to the table, it is worth getting iPad for it. Check out all the reasons Why It is worth getting iPad to have Procreate

The only other officially supported stylus for Procreate is Logitech Crayon. So if you are wondering if Logitech Crayon works with procreate? It does. It works perfectly well with iPads (2018 and later versions). It also costs less. Does it have the same feel? It is highly individual. So if you have an opportunity to test both before buying, do it.

Any other styluses are not officially supported. This means they can still work in Procreate, but there are no guarantees. You might encounter errors and hardware limitations with third-party pencils. And if you do, Procreate support will likely be unable to help you with such issues.
